    Description

    We’re seeking an experienced Software Engineer to maintain, enhance, and modernize a suite of .NET-based applications while developing new cross-platform, mobile, and distributed systems. This role bridges legacy modernization with next-generation engineering, spanning .NET, Flutter, Go, Docker, Linux, and private-cloud services.

    A central component of this position involves integrating several independent internal applications to create a seamless, cohesive ecosystem across operational, logistics, compliance, and internal systems. The role also includes transforming a legacy Windows application into a modernized, forward-compatible software architecture.

    The ideal candidate is comfortable working across Microsoft and non-Microsoft stacks, private cloud environments, Linux-based microservices, modern front-end development, and mobile applications. Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Copilot, etc.) is highly valued to improve both speed and quality.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Maintain, troubleshoot, refactor/modernize, and enhance existing .NET Framework / .NET Core applications.
    • Architect and develop APIs, microservices, event-driven components, and back-end systems for portals, dashboards, and enterprise workflows.
    • Build new back-end services using Go, .NET Core, Node.js, or Python for scalability and cross-platform compatibility.
    • Build cross-platform mobile and embedded applications using Flutter.
    • Develop lightweight, modern web interfaces using JavaScript/TypeScript with a strong focus on UX/UI design principles.
    • Integrate internal applications and data flows to improve cohesion across multiple sovereign systems, unifying workflows and reducing operational silos.
    • Plan and execute migration and modernization strategies to the organization’s private cloud environment.
    • Deploy and manage Linux-based services and containerized workloads (Docker).
    • Design and manage CI/CD deployments using Docker, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
    • Manage relational databases (SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL), including schema design and performance tuning.
    • Utilize AI-assisted tools (Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot) to enforce quality and accelerate delivery.
    • Collaborate with IT, engineering, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration and interoperability across business systems.
    • Participate in Agile ceremonies, structured change workflows, code reviews, and automated testing.

    Requirements

    Required Qualifications

    • 3+ years of hands-on experience with .NET Framework / .NET Core development.
    • Experience building cross-platform mobile applications using Flutter (Dart).
    • Proficiency with Go or another compiled back-end language (Rust, Java, etc.).
    • Practical experience with Linux service deployment, CLI workflows, and diagnostics.
    • Solid understanding of Docker and containerization concepts.
    • Experience deploying applications into private cloud or on-premises virtualized environments.
    • Strong experience with SQL Server; additional experience with Postgres/MySQL is a plus.
    • Ability to support and modernize legacy on-premise applications while designing new cloud-hosted replacements.
    • Working knowledge of API design, REST, GraphQL, microservices, and distributed systems.
    • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools.
    • Familiarity with Git, GitHub, Bitbucket, or Atlassian

    Preferred Skills

    • Experience converting monolithic applications into microservice or container-based architectures.

    • Familiarity with authentication systems (OAuth2, SAML, JWT).
    • Exposure to distributed logging and monitoring platforms such as Sentry.
    • Experience working with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence) and formal change-order or ticket-based development workflows (helpful but not require)
    • Background in logistics, ERP, or enterprise operational platforms is a strong plus.

    Soft Skills

    • Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration abilities.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
    • Adaptable, self-directed, and eager to adopt new technologies.
    • Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and architectural quality.
    • Passionate about automation, UX/UI consistency, performance, and clean engineering principles.
